Answer:

A) NPP = GPP - R

Explanation:

NPP is the abbreviation of net primary productivity while

GPP is the abbreviation of gross primary productivity and

R is used for Respiration.

NPP = GPP - R

The equation used to determine the overall productivity of a system where the NPP or Net Primary Production is equal to the GPP Gross Primary Production minus the R or Respiration.

The NPP determines the plants overall efficiency in the ecosystem.

4. Discuss the difference between solar flares and CME's.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

CMEs are giant clouds of particles from the Sun hurled out into space, while flares are flashes of light—occurring in various wavelengths—on the Sun.

All three occur in the corona. The biggest difference is the cause. The solar wind is a constant flow of particles from the sun’s corona due to their high energy gained from the sun’s interior, it’s like being boiled off. CME’s and flares are the result of “explosive” releases of energy from the sun’s magnetic field.

One can think of the explosions using the physics of a cannon. The flare is like the muzzle flash, which can be seen anywhere in the vicinity. The CME is like the cannonball, propelled forward in a single, preferential direction, this mass ejected from the barrel only affecting a targeted area.

What is osmosis? ???

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

In biology, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane (e.g. cell membrane) from an area of higher to an area of lower water potential. Other definitions of osmosis are as follows:

The process of a solvent diffusing through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration

The tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concentration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane

In chemistry, osmosis is defined similarly. It is the passage of a pure solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater concentration of solutes when the two solutions are separated by a membrane that selectively prevents the passage of solute molecules while allows the solvent molecules to pass through.
